When does this run actually get good?
When does this run actually get good?

Either "A Day In the Life" (V1 #8) or Avenging Doom Patrol (V1 #13-15)
Benjamin Jenkins
It doesn’t. The only reasons I read this is for George Perez art work
Kevin Ward
Right from the start. You're just a troll.
Jonathan Hill
>A day in the Life
>Good
Joseph Price
pfffffHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Ryder Ortiz
Maybe you're just a faggot OP who can't appreciate good comics.
Go back to reading N52
Aaron Bennett
The first issue is a very well executed first issue. The next decent story is when they pick p Kory’s storyline again and go into space like 30 issues later.
It’s the only good story in the entire run.
Adam Rogers
i read around 50 issues and always found it more or less meh,not bad, but it wouldn't be too hard to find something better and contemporary.
the only truly bad thing that comes to mind is that if i hadn't read the wally run as flash before this comic i may never had given the character a chance
Owen Smith
Wolfman ever being good is a meme. He was his decades Rob Liefield—loved for his time by entry level readers but in retrospect doesn’t hold up.
Accepting Titans always sucked is the red pill to true comic fan status along with accepting that X-Men always sucked.
Dylan Myers
This is the only good post in this thread.
That said, I own Wolfman's entire run and I still can't say I'm truly a fan. It's mostly great for the art and just good for the story. It's a slow burn, but still interesting to see original characters become fan favorites. And it lacks the purple prose of Claremont, which could be a plus.
I can't say there's a particular issue where it starts to stand out, but it definitely gets better, even if it never achieves the heights its reputation suggests. Like PAD's Hulk or Gruenwald's Captain America, it just kinda exists as a nice long run that could find its own voice without interruption.
Connor Ward
I agree the Doom Patrol arc is goid. I don’t like fat washed up Mento, however.
Luke Howard
If you're the kind of person who doesn't mind Marv, it's good from the start.
If Marv's flaws as a writer bother you, you'll never like it.
It's really that simple.
Jayden Lopez
>which could be a plus
Definitely a plus.
Andrew Powell
X-Men had more intermittent ok/good stories (mostly due to being a far larger franchise) and its handling of the soap opera angle was better.
ASM is really the only superhero book to do the soap opera style right, and a huge chunk of it before falling apart irreparably was mediocre or outright bad.
Luke Hill
It´s slice of life done right, it´s good because it´s so rarely done. It´s also very 80´s, which can be a plus or not, depending on the scenario.
Considering the 90´s run is awful, i´d consider stopping reading the comics once you reach the titans hunt arc and go read the Titans:Games graphic novel instead.
Wyatt Ward
Wolfman is a boring writer, read X-Men instead
Christopher Reed
The ultimate red pill is accepting that Silver Age Superman and Golden Age Captain Marvel were the best superheroes have ever and will ever be.
And Claremont for all his faults was a much better writer than Wolfman.
Charles Mitchell
Those are good, but Silver Age Spider-man is better
Austin Flores
>accepting that X-Men always sucked.
The Jean Grey dying on the moon wasn't as great as people try to claim, but the assault on the hellfire club part of the dark phoenix saga is fucking amazing
Julian Brown
Plastic Man.
But close enough.
Adam Price
From issue 1 for me. It was about the people who wore the costumes, it wasn't just about beating up the bad guy. It out-angsted UXM. A couple years later though Claremont countered with New Mutants whose angst still has yet to be topped. I do think it helps if you were a kid or teenager at the time but it's still really good today.
Tyler Bailey
When you dump it and read LoSH.
Luke Diaz
Blackfire is the most underrated villain/anti-hero
